Can you spot the dinosaurs hiding the garden?

No need for a guard dog at this Kenthurst property – not with two Velociraptors lurking in the backyard.

Potential buyers inspecting the 2.02ha estate, which has just been listed for sale, have been doing a double take when touring the acreage’s amazing outdoor entertainment area.

The private oasis which features a lagoon-style pool, spa, thatched huts and a rock waterfall – is also home to what looks like a scene from the hit movie Jurassic Park.

Peering through the tropical landscaping is a total of seven dinosaurs – all different types including a Stegosaurus and Pterodactyl – while an enormous almost two metre ‘yeti’ stands by the kids’ water slide.

Watch out – dinosaurs are hiding in the tropical garden

A few of the dinosaurs in the garden.

Vendor Glenn Jones was inspired to create his unusual backyard after visiting Clive Palmer’s Dinosaur Park at Coolum in Queensland.

By chance, not long afterwards, some lifelike prehistoric models were being auctioned in nearby Windsor.

“When I saw them, I thought I have to buy them,” Mr Jones said.

“I’ve just always liked dinosaurs – I had toy ones growing up so I guess these are adult-size toys.

“We used to get people ringing the doorbell asking if they could bring their kids in to show them the dinosaurs – but the garden is grown now so you can’t see them from the street.”

Mr Jones and wife Annette’s four children and two grandchildren have loved their fantasy backyard which has hosted many parties over the years. However, now as empty-nesters, the couple have decided to downsize.

The sale includes all of the dinosaurs plus a very realistic crocodile that usually floats at the bottom of their pool. It has been relocated to the garden while the home is on the market.

“We only took him out because we thought kids might get scared when they come to look at the house,” Mr Jones said.

The property is expected to sell in the low-to-mid-$4m price range.

Agent Scott Rance from Rance Property said there has been no such problem with the dinosaurs as the backyard has proven a hit with youngsters at open inspections.

The acreage is expected to sell in the low-to-mid $4 million price range.

The resort-style rear garden.

While the dinosaurs are a huge attraction, the estate comprises of two dwellings – a five-bedroom double storey residence with six-car garage and a smaller three-bedroom home – which adds to its appeal.

There is also a 200-bird aviary and some sheep on the property, which the couple describe as a ‘manageable farm in suburbia’.

The unique outdoor entertainment area, part of the newer home, includes an outdoor kitchen, fridge, barbecue, pizza oven and sound system.

“People just can’t believe the backyard when they see it,” Mr Rance said.

“We had family come through the other day and their kids wanted to take the dinosaurs home – it really is like your own Jurassic Park.”
